What phone do you use?
I have a Motorola RAZR.
 
Why that particular model?
It’s slim and black. Black is my favourite colour!

Do you SMS a lot?
Yes, I do. In fact, I SMS people more than I call them. It’s become a habit for me. I can SMS without even looking at the keypad.
 
Any special functions you like to use?
Yeah, Bluetooth. I use it to exchange music with friends!

Do you shoot pictures with your phone?
I like shooting pictures but I don’t do it with my phone.





Why not?
Cos I bring my digital camera with me everywhere. I get much better shots that way.

Do you post your pictures online?
I do but I can’t tell you the web address. It’s only for me and my friends. I’m a very private person, lah.
 
Are you a mobile person?
Yeah, I’m out and about all the time. But I don’t have a car. I take taxi everywhere I go.

Are you busy working all the time?
No, I’d say 50% of my time spent outside is for work. The other 50% is spending time with friends, shopping, etc.... I like to do the kind of things girls like to do.
 
Any mobile device you wish you had?
I wish I had a iPod nano.

Are you Net savvy?
Yeah, I’d say I am. I am online two to three hours every day, checking my e-mail, downloading songs, reading blogs, shopping online. I’m really into eBay.
 
What do you buy through eBay?
Costume jewelry, necklaces, hand bags.
 
Do you make friends online?
No, I don’t believe in meeting people online. I’m quite a reserved person. But I’m a cili padi. If you cross the line, I can really be hot stuff… ha…ha…
How did you get into modeling?
I was approached by someone to try out for a TV commercial. I ended up in a Kao Biore commercial with Carmen Soo.
 
What have you been up to lately?
I’ve just done a shoot for an independent film called The DVD made by a group called GT Media.
 
What was that like?
Acting is tiring and not as easy as it seems but it was a good experience. Acting is not as lucrative as modeling but you get to do more. So, I do like it.
 
Besides acting, what else are you looking at?
I’d like to venture into hosting some TV shows. That’s something that Talent Factory can help me with.
 
What made you decide to sign up with Talent Factory?
I started off as a freelancer. Freelancing is good in that everything you make is yours to keep. But if you have an agent you can get more jobs and more varied jobs too.
 
You like to multitask don’t you?
Well, I’m an active person. I can’t sit still.

Very mobile, eh?
Yes, very much so. Ha…ha…
